I agree with most. It would be a lot different if a group of us ran the show. More arguments, less b.s. like "atheist churches". Our version of the show would be real and not aimed at trying to gain the most viewers. Nonetheless it's wasn't BAD so that's a step in the right direction! They did show the negative impact of religion AND it differentiated atheists from satanists. So it probably actually educated a few idiots a little bit, so that's good lol

I won't waste time on senseless debates about senseless subjects. It's hard enough watching Sam Harris actually enjoying himself as he dominates a senseless debate. I come away thinking that this is a man raising his family by being paid for publicly speaking out about nothing of any usefulness. Sad.

In case that gets taken down, search for
"cnn atheist inside non believer"

I thought it was great.

The title was misleading "Inside the world of non-believers"
As is often the case with USA they assume "The World" = "USA"
It was actually an inside look into the lives of a few American atheists.

It certainly wasn't supposed to be a documentary to explain what atheism is or what the average atheist life is like.

It started off talking about how intrinsic Christianity is to USA and how that makes it difficult for American atheists to be open about themselves.
It started off talking about a boy (a very intelligent, well mannered, non confrontational boy) who had parents who were into the church (dad was a minister). The boy came off really well. His parents looked like douches but lost in their belief system which was making them torn and tearing up their relationship with their great kid.

It also talked about a minister who lost his faith but kept preaching because he needed a means of income, but the lying was tearing at him.

It then talked about a different minister who opened up about his atheism (well, he was exposed by his aunt), he lost his minister job (of course), he lost his wife and house and money, he started up a congregation because that is what he is qualified at. His congregation is an atheist one. The CNN article did not state that atheists generally go to these things. But it did show this man's congregation and what a congregation without god is (in this circumstance).

And it also talked about people trying to spread the word/message/idea of a world without god.

Seriously? That was the title? Why not call it, "Atheists: Inside the World of Non-Believers... Cosmos: A Space Odyssey featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson."
